Andy Murray set to miss Wimbledon this summer

Andy Murray has been ruled out of playing at Wimbledon this year

However, after undergoing surgery on a spinal cyst after being injured in a match against Jordan Thompson at Queen's Club earlier this week, the three time Grand Slam winner is set to miss the tournament.

"After an operation on a spinal cyst, Andy Murray is sadly out of Wimbledon. Rest up and recover Andy, we'll miss seeing you there," the ATP tweeted.

The 37-year-old had previously been out for eight weeks due to damaged ankle ligaments, and only returned last month.

"During my pre-match warm-up I was pretty uncomfortable and then I walked up the stairs, just before going on the court, I didn't have the normal strength in my right leg. It was not a usual feeling," Murray said after he retired the game against Thompson at Queen's, via Sky News.

"Then the first two balls I hit in the warm-up, my right leg, it was, like, so uncoordinated. I had no coordination. Then, yeah, my right leg just was not working properly.

"In hindsight I wish I hadn't gone on there because it was pretty awkward for everyone.

"There is nothing I could do, and then there is part of you that wants to go out there and see if it gets better, you know, and maybe feel better with a bit of treatment or something, but that wasn't the case."
